从VSPD虚拟COM口安装包解出独立的驱动安装包(虚拟串口开发和EXE程序反解压)

最近在开发项目进行测试时,每次都要架设实体机器,很不方便,于是就想着可不可以写一个虚拟的机器,便于测试。我们项目与机器的通信方式是基于COM口的,于是要做虚拟机器,首先要解决的问题是创建虚拟的COM口。

网上搜索一番,主要有VSPM和VSPD,前者是在WIN7前使用稳定,后者在WIN7中使用稳定。我的电脑是WIN7_64的,所以选用了VSPD7。于是下了个VSPD7.1的安装包,安装完成后,利用软件界面就可以创建相应的虚拟COM口了。具体如何使用,可以参看这篇文章《虚拟串口VSPD的使用方法》。记住一点,VSPD的COM通信是成对的,一个用于接收数据,一个用于发送数据。

有了虚拟COM口后,就是写一个DEMO进行测试。具体可以参看这篇文件章《win7系统下用vspd软件进行串口编程实例》。

当虚拟COM口可以实现通讯之后,就想着我们的程序是依赖于这个VSPD安装包的,那如果我们是否可以不依赖呢?有两种方案:

方案一:自己写一个虚拟COM的驱动,然后里面实现。有兴趣的可以参看该文《开发虚拟串口驱动程序》。

方案二:VSPD安装包是一个安装程序,为了实现虚拟COM,必然会有相应的驱动。如果我们能够找到这个驱动并安装,之后用相应的接口来调用,或是可行。

方案一想了,但自认还没有这个能耐,于是果断放弃,退而选方案二。那么方案二要实现,首先要解决的问题是接口的调用,因为驱动程序即使不能做到自己安装,但还是可以通过VSPD安装包的安装来解决,那么VSPD中有没有提供这样的接口呢?

查看VSPD的用户手册(User Manual),里面果然有相应的接口(在Using serial port driver in your program下的Functions中),于是有C#写了相应的调用,下面是代码。

代码中用到的结构只写了一部分,如果需要用到更多的结构的,可以参看VSPD的使用手册,然后自行改造。

在这些接口中我要用的只是创建和册除虚拟COM口,所以只要用到CreatePair、DeletePair和DeleteAll,下面是对这三个接口调用的示例代码。

VSPD.CreatePair("COM101", "COM201");
VSPD.DeletePair("COM101");
VSPD.DeleteAll();
使用COM101和COM201,是为了更方便从名字上看出他们是一对的。

有了这些之后,那么自己增删虚拟COM口已经可以实现了。那么还剩下另一个问题,就是能不能从VSPD的安装包中解出相应的驱动程序。

经过一番试验后,找到了一种方法,具体步骤如下

1.使用常用的解压缩工具尝试解压vspd.exe,见图1

图1


2.查看清单文件,找到该EXE打包所用的工具,见图2

在vspd/.rsrc/MANIFEST下用UE打开文件1,然后查看打包用的工具是Inno.Setup.
图2

3.查找Inno打包的EXE的反解压工具。

经网上搜索后,找到了innounp.exe。

4.使用innounp.exe反解压vspd.exe。见图3.

图3

5.查看安装脚本install_script.iss

打开安装脚本后,会看到Files下的Source指向了一系列的文件,而驱动程序是以sys为后缀的,所以我们关心的是sys的文件和其所在的文件夹,我们可以看到sys所在的文件夹里面有evsbc7.inf、evsbc7.sys、evserial7.cat、evserial7.inf、evserial7.sys、vsbsetup.exe这些文件。
其中两个文件特别要注意,一个是evserial7.inf,一个是vsbsetup.exe。inf是一种安装文件,右击点击该文件可以看到有安装的字样,有的系统可以安装(如XP),有的系统不一定能安装(如win7_64)。另一个exe文件,是执行文件,但不确定是不是驱动程序的安装执行文件。

6.测试安装脚本

尝试执行evsbc7.inf安装后,有时可以成功,有时不能成功,看来这个文件不太可靠,具体要视系统而定。那我们尝试使用vsbsetup.exe安装(最好是用CMD来执行安装,这样可以看到异常和安装结果),安装时会需要几秒至几十秒不等(CMD安装时,会等一段时间,但安装完成后不会有其他提示),安装完成后,用前面的demo创建虚拟com口,在电脑的设备管理器中的可以看到com口的数量增加了。这么说这个exe执行文件就是安装驱动的程序。
至此,驱动程序已经从vspd.exe中解出来了,不过还需要注意一点,就是版本与系统的对应。
NT5对应XP_32
NT5x64对应XP_64
NT6对应WIN7_32
NT6x64对应WIN7_64

7.自行打包

有了驱动程序的安装脚本,那么要合并到自己的程序中,只是打包的问题了,这个有很多打包工具可以实现。
如果使用VS打包,在制作安装包的同时,再做一个类库,该类库中添加一个安装程序类Installer1.cs,然后在该类中可以在安装过程中执行相应的动作。
